More than 30 papers and posters were presented and much fruitful discussion occurred. An enjoyable field trip to the Colorado Rockies took place on Sunday, May 19th, and the weather was excellent. Boris was such a good host that it was difficult to leave, but many participants traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to attend the annual meetings of the North American Benthological Society. Bill Stark gave us a way to remember this meeting by producing a T-shirt with a unique “Spirit Fly” design. ANNOUNCEMENT 11th International Stonefly Symposium Stan Szczytko has planned and organized an excellent symposium that will be held at the Tree Haven Biological Station, University of Wisconsin in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, USA. The registration cost of $300 includes lodging, meals, field trip and a T- Shirt. This is a real bargain so hopefully many colleagues and friends will come and participate in the symposium August 17-20, 1992. Stan has promised good weather and good friends even though he will not guarantee that stonefly adults will be collected during the field trip. Printed August 1992 1 OBITUARIES RODNEY L.

The monotypic Taiwanese genus Mesoperla Klapálek, 1913 is redescribed on the basis of a male syntype specimen, and its affinities are re-evaluated. The single female type specimen of further two Oriental monotypic genera, Kalidasia Klapálek, 1914 and Nirvania Klapálek, 1914, are confirmed to be lost or destroyed respectively; both genera are considered as nomina dubia. The Sichuan endemic Acroneuria grahami Wu & Claassen, 1934 is redescribed on the basis of male holotype. Distinctive characters of the genus Brahmana Klapálek, 1914 consisting of five, inadequately known Oriental species are discussed. Flavoperla needhami (Klapálek, 1916) and Sinacroneuria sinica (Yang & Yang, 1998) comb. novae are suggested for an Indian species originally described in Gibosia Okamoto, 1912 and a Chinese species originally described in Acroneuria Pictet, 1841. At present, 62 species of Acroneuriinae, classified in 10 valid genera are reported from the Oriental Realm but 29 species are inadequately known. A key is presented to distinguish males of the Asian Acroneuriinae genera. Asian distribution of each genera are detailed and depicted on a map.

    Ohio Biological Survey Notes 1: 1-18, 1998. © Ohio Biological Survey Common Names of Stoneflies (Plecoptera) from the United States and Canada BILL P. S TARK1, KENNETH W. STEWART2, STANLEY W. SZCZYTKO3, AND RICHARD W. BAUMANN4 1 Dept. of Biology, Mississippi College, Clinton, MS 39058. 2 Dept. of Biological Sciences, Univ. of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203. 3 College of Natural Resources, Univ. of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, WI 54481. 4 Dept. of Zoology, Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602 Introduction Stoneflies are one of the important and often dominant orders of insects in North American stream ecosystems. They have remained generally poorly known to nonspecialists because of their cryptic habits, and often nocturnal activity. Larger species, or those that are colorful or important to flyfishers, have acquired regional or local names that vary from place to place. Names such as blacks, browns, greens, yellows, rollwings, needleflies, broadbacks, sallies, olives, stones, willowflies, or the generic names Acroneuria, Isoperla, Pteronarcys and others have become firmly established in fly fishing literature, and are used by flyfishers. The following list of recommended common names of Plecoptera species from the United States and Canada was originally formulated by us, acting as a subcommittee of the North American Benthological Society Scientific and Common Names Committee. This committee was charged with producing comprehensive species checklists of North American aquatic invertebrates, including insects with assigned common names. The first of the intended series of special publications by the American Fisheries Society of scientific and common names of U.S. aquatic invertebrates was of mollusks (Turgeon et al., 1988); the volumes on Insecta never followed.
  • River Raisin Assessment

    River Raisin Assessment

    River Raisin Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is one of a series of river assessments to be prepared by the Fisheries Division of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for Michigan rivers. This report describes the characteristics of the River Raisin and its biological communities. River assessments are prepared to provide a comprehensive reference for citizens and agency personnel who desire information about a particular fisheries resource. These assessments will provide an approach to identifying opportunities and solving problems related to aquatic resources in watersheds. It is hoped that this river assessment will increase public awareness of the River Raisin and its challenges and serve to promote a sense of public stewardship and advocacy for the resources of the watershed. The ultimate goal is to increase public involvement in the decision making process to benefit the river and its resources. This document consists of four parts: an introduction, a river assessment, management options, and public comments and responses. The river assessment is the nucleus of the report. The characteristics of the River Raisin and its watershed are described in twelve sections: geography, history, geology and hydrology, channel morphology, soil and land use patterns, biological communities, special jurisdictions, recreational use, dams and barriers, water quality, fishery management, and citizen involvement. The management options section of the report identifies a variety of challenges and opportunities. These management options are categorized and presented following the organization of the main sections of the river assessment. It must be stressed that the options listed are not necessarily recommended by MDNR, Fisheries Division. They are intended to provide groundwork for public discussion and comment.
